Did you know Spirit recently turned 29?
The horse that inspired the character Spirit in the film is a living horse who is currently 29 years old. DreamWorks selected Spirit as a young c**t when he was merely a foal. He was born to a stallion and mare that were captured by the Bureau of Land Management in Oregon. Spirit exemplifies the Kiger mustang breed, characterized by his striking features, including wide-set eyes and a thick, wavy mane and tail of multiple colors, which influenced the animated portrayal that continues to enchant audiences today.

In reality, Spirit embodies the mission of his animated counterpart by advocating for the conservation of wild horses and their natural environments. He resides at a sanctuary where he not only enjoys interactions with humans but also acts as a prominent ambassador for wild horses, motivating young individuals globally to understand the significance of America's mustangs and the necessity of freedom and protection for all equines. Spirit lives at the Return to Freedom sanctuary in Santa Barbara County, where he roams across 300 acres of unspoiled California pasture. Although he was raised among humans from an early age, those who know him well remark on his spirited nature, which is reminiscent of his animated persona.

He plays an essential role in the sanctuary by educating the public about his breed and advocating for the safeguarding of America’s wild horses. As a well-known figure, Spirit attracts numerous visitors to the sanctuary. Through these encounters, he effectively communicates the urgent message regarding the current situation of the nation’s wild horses and how individuals can assist in their preservation. At 29 years old, Spirit relishes his time at the sanctuary, socializing with fellow horses and receiving care from his dedicated human caretakers. Despite being born in captivity, he embodies the free-spirited essence of the wild west. Thanks to "Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron," his legacy will continue to inspire a commitment to the pursuit of freedom.

VIP HORSE EXPERIENCE DAY @ KSB

VIP Horse Experience Day @ KSB! The children had so much fun learning how to care for these beautiful animals as well as how to ride!

Most children who ride love to jump and all they want to do is jump, jump, jump! Remember the horse’s wellbeing is paramount . Without our beautiful horses, there wouldn’t be any riding let alone jumping, so we need to put their needs before our needs and wants! Jumping a horse every day can be detrimental for several reasons: 1. Physical Strain and Injury Risk: Frequent jumping puts significant stress on a horse’s joints, tendons, and ligaments, increasing the risk of injuries such as sprains, strains, and joint issues. Consistent high-impact activity without sufficient rest can lead to chronic conditions like arthritis. 2. Mental Fatigue and Stress: Horses, like humans, need variety in their training to stay mentally stimulated. Repetitive jumping can lead to boredom and mental fatigue, reducing a horse’s enthusiasm for work and potentially leading to behavioral issues. 3. Overuse and Burnout: Continuous jumping can lead to overall burnout, where the horse becomes physically and mentally exhausted. This can decrease performance levels and the horse’s overall willingness to work, potentially shortening its career as a jumper. Incorporating a balanced training program that includes rest days, flatwork, and other activities can help maintain a horse’s health and longevity in the sport.
